To say that Samantha Geimer can empathize with Dylan Farrow is an understatement.

Samantha was 13 years old when director Roman Polanski had "unlawful sexual intercourse" with her. Like Woody Allen, who is Dylan's alleged sexual molester, Roman continued to make critically acclaimed films for decades following the very public incident.

So it isn't surprising Samantha wants to share words of wisdom with Dylan, words that can hopefully help pull her through this unfathomably trying ordeal!

Which is why Samantha, who also authored The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski, decided to publish an open letter for Dylan on the internet.

Samantha also spoke out for those who she feels have no voice. She revealed:

Check out (above) these clips from Larry King Live of Samantha Geimer, who was raped by Roman Polanski when she was 13, discuss the horrific event and explain that she doesn't blame him as much as she does the media for the way they handled reporting on her and the court case!

We obviously still think that Polanski should be held accountable for his despicable crime, but we also understand that the victim herself has every right to feel however she wants about what she endured.

Samantha Geimer, the rape victim of Roman Polanski, wants prosecutors to stop the case against the director.

"Enough is enough. This matter should have been resolved 33 years ago…People say I have ulterior motives. That doesn't make it true. I've felt this way from the beginning," she says, adding that he isn't a threat to anyone. "At 76 years old? I don't think so."

But officials in both LA And Washington say they will continue using their limited options to pursue Polanski. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley says:

“A 13-year-old girl was drugged and raped. This is not a matter of technicality.”

Prosecutors in the Roman Polankski statutory rape case are pushing to deny the victim's request to have the charges dropped.

The now 32-year-old Samantha Geimer tried to rid herself of the incident and drop charges because the media frenzy around the case has affected her job and health.

But her pleas will not be heard!

According to court papers, prosecutors have urged a California appeals court to dismiss Geimer's attempt to throw out the case because she has "no right or authority to dictate the outcome of a criminal case".

Polanksi should face charges, but hasn't Miss Geimer been through enough?!
